    Hey There pees I have a question about camera... I'm using Cinemachine to have a smooth cam but when let say when the player falls the camera falls with him. So my question is how can i get the cam to stop following the player at a key point? I have a box collider there so when player hits it the cam doesn't follow. But im lost at what to do. Thanks for the help!

    Use a bool. "if(followingPlayer)"

    Set it to false when they fall, and true when they get back up.

    alternative would be a bool to follow if the player's y position is above a certain amount
    if(target.position.y > -2) //or whatever
    {transform.position = target.position + offset}
